| Hidden Overage Trap | S3 and DynamoDB traffic routed through Managed NAT Gateways incurs $0.045/GB processing fee unnecessarily when free VPC Gateway Endpoints are not configured. | Bot Management, Rate Limiting, and Argo Smart Routing billed on 'Good Request' volume spikes if static asset paths (/assets/*, *.js) aren't excluded from WAF rules. |
| Primary Negotiation Lever | Attach free S3/DynamoDB VPC Gateway Endpoints immediately (cuts NAT data bill 40%–70% in 10 minutes) and bundle remaining egress into an AWS EDP addendum. | Exclude static cache-hit traffic from Bot Management/WAF request metering in the Order Form, and bundle R2 Storage to eliminate AWS S3 egress fees. |
